Case Study: SimWell Consulting achieves 3700% ROI and rapid, low-cost network optimization with anyLogistix

Transportation optimization 3,700% ROI with a freight planning tool

SimWell Consulting partnered with anyLogistix to help a leading paper-industry client tackle rising transportation and production costs and the need for frequent tactical re-optimization tied to ERP systems. The engagement addressed complex ERP data integration across multiple databases, many business-specific constraints, and very long optimization run times (previously 12–36 hours) that limited the company’s ability to react quickly to changing forecasts, costs, and sustainability requirements.

anyLogistix delivered an end-to-end workflow (ETL with Jupyter/Python → anyLogistix/ALX network optimization with custom constraints → Python post‑processing → Power BI → ERP) using ALX’s Customer Constraints and refined Big M formulations. The solution cut optimization time to about 4 hours (from roughly 8–12/12–36 hours), was pushed to production in 2 months, enabled new transportation lanes and improved production planning, and delivered a reported potential ROI of 3700% in six months while boosting operational efficiency, resilience and sustainability.
